Message to the Future- 3-17-08

If I were given the opportunity to deliver a message for the future, there are a few things that I might say. For example, I might tell the future to avoid pollution and to do what they can to help the Earth. However, the message that I would definitely tell the future would be a reminder to learn from the past. In this essay, I will talk about why I think that it is important for the future to hear my message.

The first reason that I would tell the future not to forget what the past learned involves the fact that if someone were to make a mistake that was made in the past, it might yield the sane results. Our generation has gone through the effects that some very bad decisions caused. If the future was reminded not to follow the paths of the past, things might be better for their generation. There are more reasons than possibly creating a better generation that mine for the message that I would deliver to the future.

Another reason that I would tell the future to learn from the past is that if they encounter problems that seem impossible to resolve, the past might have already solved them. Even though every generation is different, some of the same global problems still exist. If the future pays attention to the things that we are resolving now then it will not be as difficult for them to solve some of their issues. If the future learns from our resolutions then things might be much easier for them.

Yet another reason for the future to hear my warning is that the past can teach many things. The best source of information is that of endurance and experience. Nothing can teach better lessons than things that have already been learned. I hope that one day, I will be able to tell every living person that they should pay attention to the past to discover their future.

In conclusion, I would tell the future to remember and learn from the past, if I got the chance. I believe that the future could benefit from past mistakes because they would learn what to avoid and how to succeed in life. The future would be better off learning from the past to live an easier life and overcome more obstacles.
